Blogging Tools

I'm using Drivel 2.0.2 for posting my blogs using the Blogger Atom API. I've also tried BloGTK and the really nice Blog Entry Poster, but Drivel is what I finally ended up using. Here's why:

* Drivel doesn't store my password
* It supports the Blogger Atom API, which means I get proper titles on my Blogger blog
* Has almost everything I need (drafts, etc.)

I also did try the Emacs plug-in, but dial-up + CURL seemed not to like it. Pity.

Drivel's not perfect however, in particular, I seriously miss toggling comments per post, but it's the Blogger Atom API at fault over here. Hope they get the Atom Publishing protocol finalized soon. The Atom Syndication format is really nice, and I'm really hoping for a good API.

For reading blogposts, I prefer to use Liferea. So please enable RSS feeds on your site. Yes, UT, this means you.
